Like fine wine, fine sushi is a product of philosophy and skill. Anyone can safely disagree with Sasabunes philosophy pertaining to sushi but to not recognize Nobi Kusuhara and his staff as one of just a few preeminent sushi teams in LA, only exposes their own ignorance. Sasabune, like any fine dining experience, is more than food preparation; it is based upon vision and extreme dedication. Take it from a sushi-barfly; Sasabune achieves the highest form of culinary art. I cannot guarantee you will like Sasabune (but you probably will), but real fans of sushi will notice Nobis rare mastery. There is no finer sushi experience than Sasabune anywhere and any true aficionado of this culinary art form might consider placing Sasabune on their own must try list.
Pros: preeminent chef, extraordinary sushi, very fresh
Cons: not a fancy place, dinner is too busy, street parking only
